GENERAL  ARRANGEMENTS. 

The  "fifflaaaBBr  Annual  Exhibition  of  the  United  States 
'Agricultural  Society,  will  be  held  at  TVtWFiTiTQaT  (■PWht- 
l^plp^"^.}  on  Tuesday,  Wednesday,  Thus§4ay»>|Eriday  and  Satur- 
day, i^Ctob©*  ^h,  ^,  9|i,  1^  and  ^^Jm^  gates  will  be 
opened  for  the  admission  of  tlie  public,  from  8  A.  M.,  until  sun- 
down, of  each  day. 

Tiie  Marshals  and  the  Superintendents  of  the   various  classes 
will  meet  at  the  President's  Marquee,  at  8  o'clock  A.  M.,  on  Tues- 
\  j  day.Jrth.,  to  perfect  arrangements  for  the  day. 

SUPERINTENDENTS. 

The  Superintendents  are  required  to  take  particular  charge  of 
all  matters  in  their  respective  departments,  and  see  that  they  are 
properly  arranged,  for  easy  approach  and  examination. 

A  Superintendent  will  accompany  each  set  of  Judges,  and  point 
out  the  difierent  animals  and  articles  to  be  exhibited.     They  will 


.?. 


also  see  that  horses  and  cattle  are  provided  with  halters,  by  their 
owners,  and  suitably  arranged  for  exhibition  each  day. 

THE    JUDGES. 

By  consulting  the  Programme,  Judges  will  ascertain  at  what 
hours  of  each  day  the  different  classes  of  animals  will  be  exhibit" 
ed ;  and  each  Committee  is  earnestly  requested  to  report  them- 
selves at  the  President's  Marquee,  at  least  one  hour  previous  to  the 
time  specified  for  entering  on  their  duties. 

The  books  of  entries  will  be  delivered  every  morning  at  9 
o'clock,  at  the  President's  tent,  to  the  Judges  who  are  to  serve  for 
the  day ;  or  sooner,  if  the  chairman  desires  to  assemble  his  Com- 
mittee for  preliminary  examinations. 

The  Judges  will,  at  their  discretion,  appoint  a  time  for  the  eX' 
amination  of  animals  iaiilMitliiBlwMs:,  of  which  due  notice  will  be 
o-iven,  through  the  Superintendents,  to  exhibitors ;  the  exhibition 
in  the  cattle  rings  or  on  the  track,  will  take  place  punctually  at  the 
houi-s  hereinafter  specified. 

The  Judges  will  report  not  only  the  animals  and  articles  entitled 
to  premiums,  but  also  those  next  in  merit,  in  each  class,  to  meet  the 
continfency  of  any  objection  which  may  arise  to  the  awards,  and 
also  that  they  may  receive  suitable  commendation.  Any  animal 
or  article  which,  in  the  opinion  of  the  Judges,  deserves  a  special 
commendation,  will  be  so  reported  to  the  Executive  Committee. 

Regard  will  be  had  to  the  purity  of  blood,  as  established  by 
pedigree,  symmetry,  size,  and  general  characteristics  of  the  several 
breeds  of  animals  ;  and  the  Judges  will  make  proper  allowance  for 
age,  feeding,  and  other  circumstances.  TJiey  are  expressly  re' 
qidred  not  to  give  encouragement  to  over-fed  animals  in  the  breeding 
classes. 

K  not  satisfied  as  to  the  regularity  of  the  enti-ies  in  their  respec- 
tive classes,  they  will  apply  to  the  Secretary  for  information;  and 
should  there  still  be  any  doubt,  after  examination ;  or,  if  any  ani- 
mal or  article  is  of  such  a  character  as  not  to  be  entitled  to  exhi- 
bition in  competition,  they  will  report  the  facts  to  the  Secretary, 
for  the  consideration  of  the  Executive  Committee,  that  such  course 
may  be  adopted  as  the  case  may  require. 


A^v- 


No  petson  who  is  an  exhibitor  can  act  as  Judge  on  the  class  in 
which  he  exhibits.  And,  during  the  examinations  of  the  Judges, 
if  any  person  interferes  with  them,  by  letter  or  otherwise,  he  will 
be  excluded  from  the  competition.  But  exhibitors,  when  re- 
quested, are  expected  to  make  verbal  or  written  statements  con- 
cerning their  contributions. 

When  animals  or  articles  are  not  deemed  Avorthy  of  a  premium, 
the  judges  will,  in  all  cases  withhold  it.  An  animal  or  article 
entered  for  exhibition  in  one  class  cannot  compete  for  premium  in 
any  other ;  but  cattle  in  other  classes  are  not  prohibited  from  com- 
peting for  the  Herd  Premium  or  as  County  Teams  ;  nor  at'aJHiowg  /t^V^^-  <1^

mation possible    from  exhibitors    in    their  classes,  and     to  make 

their  reports  as  full  as  time  and  circumstances  will  permit.

o^    tions,  -wsBt  be  sent  to  the  Secretary  on  or   before  (j^alpjimiiiifHj  ■

to  attend  to  their  removal. 

Exhibitors  must  see  to  the  delivery  of  their  contribtutions  upon 
the  Show  grounds ;  and  the  Society  cannot,  in  any  case,  make  pro-

The  Committee  on  Poultry  recommend  that  exhibitors  competing  for 
premiums,  confine  themselves  to  not  more  than  eight  specimens  of  each 
class  for  examination  by  Committee  of  Judges  ;  while  this  will  not  inter- 
fere with  a  large  display  by  any  one  person,  it  will  abridge  the  labors 
the  Judges  by  bringing  more  particularly  before  them  those  intended? 
competition,  and  which  should  be  conspicuously  marked.
